Russ was truly a great champion. I wish I had known him. Like Paul Anderson, he competed before steroids got out of control. As evident from these pictures, this man was a born weight lifter and grew up strong. I know that he had appeared on The Johnny Carson Show. A video clip of such a show would be a rare treasure.
I meet his brother, He was a great guy!

Russ was my first coach when I was at UCLA. He was there with Athletes in Action. Miss him. I would love to talk to him today.
